根據(jù)經(jīng)濟合作與發(fā)展組織的說法，road是一種使用基本陸地的公共交通線路，而不是鐵道或空中，主要是供那些用輪子行駛的公路機動車輛使用。
Traditionally a road was a way to travel between two points, usually other towns or distant places. Over time, a road that once connected two towns or villages that were close to each other is still called a road even though now those two towns or villages became part of the same larger city. That is why roads are normally long and important routes in a city.
傳統(tǒng)上，road是聯(lián)系兩點之間的交通方式，通常是跟其他城鎮(zhèn)或遠(yuǎn)距離的地方。隨著時間的推移，曾經(jīng)連接兩個相鄰的城鎮(zhèn)或村莊的道路現(xiàn)在仍然被稱為road，盡管現(xiàn)在這兩個城鎮(zhèn)或村莊已經(jīng)成為同一個更大的城市的一部分。這就是為什么road通常是城市中又長又重要的路線。
例：
The farm is two miles south of the main road.
農(nóng)場在主路以南兩英里處。
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
一片樹林里分出兩條路，而我——我選擇了人跡更少的那條路，這使一切都不同了。
Nowadays you may hear people informally use the word road as a synonym of street. This is fine and people will understand what you are talking about if you use either of the words.
現(xiàn)在你可能會聽到人們非正式地用road作為street的同義詞。這都是可以的，隨便你用這兩個詞中的哪一個，人們都會明白你在說什么。
A street however normally has shopsstores or houses along both sides of it which facilitates public interaction. A road may also have buildings on either side though its main function is as a transportation route, a way of getting from one place to another, especially between towns. Outside of the city they are called roads.
street通常在兩旁有商店或房子，方便人們活動。雖然road的主要功能是作為從一個地方到另一個地方的交通路線，特別是城鎮(zhèn)之間，但有時候它的兩邊也可能有建筑物。城外的路叫“road”。
When a street (or road) is being repaired, it is called road works, not street works.
